Hi,
I suggest contacting SHOPETFO at the provincial office. There is also an electronic copy if you need one now.

I would keep it very simple and build your questioning upon what they begin to talk about.
Starter questions may be…..What did you find? Where would you find something like that? Where did it come from?

Hi,

Just wondering if you have any sample questions you post at the different centres for the adults in the room to read that would trigger thinking and open-ended questions with the children at that centre.

Comment on More Inquiry Based Learning by Bekki

We were outside playing the other day and one of the students asked me why the grass was growing in the pavement? (Since we had discussed that they could eat pumpkin seeds without any fear of them growing in their stomaches because there was no soil, sunshine or water in our stomaches to help them grow..) This has launched us into a major investigation of how the grass can grow when there is NO WAY water can get through the pavement because it is hard!!! They also think I am wrong and maybe plants don’t need dirt after all. (Too cute)… I have plans for an investigation this week.can I fit a cup of rocks, some sand and water all into one cup (similar in size)…Rocks go in first……then we will predict if the sand will fit in even though the rocks are to the top of the cup….then I will pour it in so they see it fill the empty crevices and spaces, then we will predict if the water will still fit it…and then it will be added so that they see how it seeps in as well. Then my plan is to revisit the pavement and pull up some of the grass from the pavement….CAN’T wait to see their faces when they start making connections.

Can you show an examples? I like this idea of documentation, but I am a visual person and it would be neat to see exactly how you do this!

We used the same poem and made little poppies that we added to our Remembrance Day bulletin board.
